Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Charles Byron (Chuck) Harmon (born April 23, 1924 in Washington, Indiana) is a former utility player in Major League Baseball who played for the Cincinnati Redlegs (1954-1956), St. Louis Cardinals (1956-1957) and Philadelphia Phillies (1957). He batted and threw right-handed. Schooled as a sportsman at Dunbar Elementary by legendary Wonder Fiver Burl Friddle, Harmon went on to play for two straight Indiana state basketball championship teams with the Washington Hatchets in 1941 and 1942. His brother Bill also played for the 1941 champions. Harmon and longtime teammate/friend Art Grove then reunited with Friddle to play for the University of Toledo, and promptly helped an all-freshman squad (that included Gary's Davage Minor) to make the final game of the National Invitational Tournament, losing to St John's.
